A 32-year-old man was allegedly shot dead by three brothers of Samajwadi Party MLA Jagram Paswan in a road rage incident in the Gonda region of Uttar Pradesh on Saturday night. The Hindustan Times reported that an FIR has been filed against Annu Paswan, Pappu Paswan and Angad Paswan, who are now absconding.
The incident took place when Jairam's car collided with the Paswan brothers' jeep coming from the opposite direction. A heated exchange ensued, following which the Paswan brothers assaulted Jairam, and then shot him dead. Balrampur superintendent of police Pradeep Kumar Yadav said eight teams were looking for the accused, and that the Paswans’ residences in Gonda and Lucknow have been raided.
